Fremont, California was founded on January 23, 1956, from the merger of five smaller communities: Mission San Jose, Irvington, Niles, Centerville, and Warm Springs. It is located in the southeast area of the San Francisco Bay Area in Alameda County.

Home to over 200,000 people, Fremont is the fourth most populous city in the Bay Area. At 92 square miles, it is California's fifth largest city.

Fremont has the largest Afghan population in the USA and hence became a center of media attention when the US attacked the country in 2001.
